    Hmmm, for what its worth, the 10% coupon code in the first post is for purchases above $1500, but there's no limit on number of PCs.

  • bctransit on 14/11/2008 - 18:39

    I've ordered two, one by CC one by EFT, let's see how it goes…

    • BlinkyBill on 14/11/2008 - 18:42

      hehe me too! 2 on CC and 1 as a backup on EFT just in case. The EFT one has already been paid for!

  • POWERevolution on 14/11/2008 - 18:40

    Just a correction… 10% OFF only apply for order $1500+
    Edit: Just got beaten by RandomNinja

  • falcine on 14/11/2008 - 18:45

    I don't think people should get their hopes up. This is the 3rd online pricing mistake they've made in the last few months that I'm aware of, and the last two times no one got their deals honoured. There's no reason to believe why it'll be different this time.

    As for your 'legal rights', they mean nothing until you get yourself a lawyer. Besides, as stated in the article in the description, it's not even clear if there's a contract in the first place. The representative from the Office of Fair Trading doesn't consider paying by internet transfer to be a traditional form of "consideration".

  • maf101 on 14/11/2008 - 18:47

    I don't expect them to honour it. I bought 2 on credit card and 1 with internet banking all with 22" LCDs!

    I'm not sure how Internet banking works. I did the transfer. I'm with Commonwealth Bank. Will the money be in their account now or will it show up next week? Hopefully I don't have issues getting a refund.

    • Buzz on 14/11/2008 - 18:55

      Internet transfers normally take a few hours but if placed after 4PM with some banks it's the next working day, which means Monday.

  • joyobar on 14/11/2008 - 18:48

    I don't see them honouring it, but if they don't want to create massive customer discontent it'd be best if they did. I sure as hell wont be buying from them again if this doesn't go through.

    did they charge your credit card straight away? because i just realised i put order through with insufficient funds :( just topped it up, hoping this hasnt messed up order…. what you guys think?

    • maf101 on 14/11/2008 - 19:21

      They haven't charged my card and they didn't charge it last time they had an error.

  • matt777 on 14/11/2008 - 19:15

    Managed to order 4— Wait and see!

  • Foma2 on 14/11/2008 - 19:16

    They had an offer, the offer was genuine ($800 for a PC - I stripped it and brought it down to $420 - 5% - there is nothing wrong with it), I've paid money - I do not have them any more, I need a product which they committed to deliver.
    I am just wondering if you need to consolidate two articles together, or as a better option to start a thread on the forum ?

  • bctransit on 14/11/2008 - 19:19

  • POWERevolution on 14/11/2008 - 19:19

    • moo on 14/11/2008 - 19:23

      If you remember what you entered, call Dell and inform them.

      • POWERevolution on 14/11/2008 - 19:28

        Just rang 1-800-812-392 but no one ans.
        Yes, 1st time purchase from Dell & didn't pay attention to their instruction so I wrote my own ref instead of their Internet Reference Number given. Will call them again on Monday. Thanks for your response.

  • search on 14/11/2008 - 19:20

    Someone has run a database script and removed everything referenced by that code. I had an order in my cart a few hours ago and now it is gone. Says invalid item and nothing in the cart.

    I doubt they will honour it.

    Good luck to all those who already paid.

    "The representative from the Office of Fair Trading doesn’t consider paying by internet transfer to be a traditional form of “consideration”."

    Can you please explain it to us in plain English ?
    What is traditional and what is not ? Online banking is not traditional ? How traditional is referred to "consumer rights" ? Does it mean if I buy things online I can be abused and misled without any consiquencies ?

    • cacbm on 14/11/2008 - 19:30

      I have no doubt that funds paid through the net constitutes a form of consideration. Who cares about some dude from the Office of Fair Trading.

      Bank transfer has a better standing because they have your money already. Whereas with credit cards they can just revoke the charge they put on. You haven't actually lost anything.

    • falcine on 14/11/2008 - 20:38

      foma

      First off I don't have any legal background, only know some bare basics. E.g. contract must have consideration. I'm merely conveying someone's opinion that they think internet banking transfer as consideration is 'grey area'. I myself don't know how the law interprets these things.

      Now, if you assume they're knowledgeable about consumer law (and this is the depart of fair trading we're talking about) it means that even if you do hire a lawyer and take them to court (if they refuse to honour the deal) it's not a clear cut case that you're going to win.

      People make mistakes, give them some slack. You didn't really lose anything, it was an honest mistake, why insist on punishing them for it?

      All I'm saying is, don't expect much. The two times they've made the mistake and refused to honour the deal, it included those who paid by EFT as well. In fact those people were worse off than those who paid by CC because Dell ended up holding on to their money for a short while before they returned it.

      no man, you should pay by internet transfer

      hotzone ¶

      friend just got off the phone with an australian Dell supervisor that rang and said credit card buyers will get zero but those that direct deposited will get machines as payment was made. For those that did pay via that method I suggest you keep fighting Dell is aware they MUST send you the machine. I paid via card and will keep fighting as long as I can

      • cacbm on 14/11/2008 - 19:50

        I think it's fair enough.

        You haven't really "lost" anything if you paid with credit card (and the charge was later revoked by Dell), whereas they already have your money if you paid with bank transfer.

        I don't really see a way out if you paid by a credit card.

      • Crownie on 15/11/2008 - 01:15

        Why should a direct deposit be entitled to the product over a credit card payment?
        That rep was BS.

        The deal was too good to be true. Dell will just refund your EFT payments.

        Its true that Dell should give you something for them not wanting to honour offers. A $50 off coupon, a free mousepad, hat. Anything.

        The fact is that you will get nothing from this.

        What if Dell was a retail store that had an error in their system and Xbox 360's came up as $29.95? A few whould be sold for the error price and then the mistake will be found very quickly. If you paid by cash they would not know who you are. Credit Card, Check, Eftos- they can track who you are. Would they then decide to charge you full price to your credit card?

        I think not.

        • cacbm on 15/11/2008 - 02:44

          Crownie,

          I don't quite understand your example but I think the issue is one regards the law of contracts. By transferring through the banks, you have provided a consideration to the contract (which is the payment), whereas if you pay by credit card you won't be seen to have provided a consideration as you haven't actually paid (it's only a charge put on the card).

          See how it develops I suppose.

  • wonga on 14/11/2008 - 19:31

    @ Forma2 Traditional as in over the counter =] Consideration is quid pro quo (one thing in return for something else); its not referring to any rights.

    JUST did my contracts law exam yesterday haha … I'm a 2nd year law student so I'm not stating any professional advice … but in my eyes this does satisfy the consideration factor. However, they do have the exclusion clause they relied upon from the last deal … unfortunately it satisfies all rules relating to exclusion clauses and is broad enough to apply to the situation. But like i said, it is in no way any professional advice. Debatable .. =]

    EDIT: Also in response to Marty Filipowski's statements, once again personally, I see this as a statement of opinion. For his statement to amount to a term of the contract, it must be a statement of fact. But hey … I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade as I'm also hoping they honour the deal this time!

  • unitedbythemoment on 14/11/2008 - 19:35

    i dont understand why if you choose direct debit in person you must got to a national australia bank branch?? There account isn't even with NAB but with citibank!! it would be easier if i could just go into my own bank and transfer funds to there account!

    I wonder how im going to do it, am i going to have to get cash out of my account (credict union australia) and deposit cash at the NAB, or will they let me swipe my efpost card that way I've got a record of it.

    Internet transfer was not an option for me, as i have any funds transfered to a different account thats not a CUA account disabled,, so if somone was to gain access to my account, they cant get the cash out.

    • RNDM on 14/11/2008 - 20:36

      As a Citibank user, Citibank don't actually have any retail Citibank outlets. NAB handles all general banking for Citibank.

  • Maxx Power on 14/11/2008 - 19:36

    Don't they sell Dells at OfficeWorks..

    What do you think your chances are if you print out the order form and take it to them. Do you reckond they will take another 5% off :)

    • cacbm on 14/11/2008 - 19:37

      None at all I would have thought, given that you can't even access the deal any more.

  • hojugoose on 14/11/2008 - 19:39

    me thinks some employees r doing it on purpose cos they got fired due to financial crisis :P

    i doubt they'll sell these babies at $200 n somthing dollars, they'll lose like 200+ on each machine.

  • ttpalan on 14/11/2008 - 20:52

    maybe they actually putting one out cos they stuffed it up twice already. to let us trust them agian.

    if i paid by credit card which i was dumb i didnt read the whole note cos last time it happen i was to late to even order one

    i got 2 confirmation emails as i did 2 seperate orders..

    you think i could still pay via internet transfeR?

    is there a way i can edit the order so i can pay them via internet transfer then money?

  • rthomson on 14/11/2008 - 21:00

    i'm gonna so chuck a fit for going swimming and missing on this deal if u guys actually get it.

    After 5 days of this Dell crap and being mucked around by them, the word "Vostro" is honestly starting to sound foul and disgusting. At first I thought it was kinda cool and funky name. Better than Inspiron. Now…bbrrrrrrkkk yuk what a shit of a name. Foul and gross company and matching name :)

  • ttpalan on 14/11/2008 - 21:33

    well if the order falls through so what?

    like if it works fuck… great…. its awsome bargin

    if it doesnt…. oh well we got fooled but i mean even WE knew this COULD be 2 good 2 BE true.

    soooooo i dunno why ppl crying….. if it works great if it dont then dell in the shits….

    doesn't mean we need 2 bag the shits through it

      How many times in one week can Dell list this computer at a great discount before they admit that they're negligent in the way the manage their pricing system? It's been listed at this discounted price for almost two full business day out of the last five days. Cough up Dell, this problem is your fault, now pay the price for the errors or fix your bloody system.

      • neosin on 14/11/2008 - 21:49

        For all the people wondering why why is making so many stuff ups, i think it's cos they're cutting alot of staff due to financial crisis and these cut staf are making dell pay :P

        i mean all it takes is 1 person to access the database and change the price :P

        highly possible cos if i got fired i'd prob try screw dell over as well HAHAHAHAHA

        • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2008 - 21:59

          As funny as that would be, there should be only a hand full of people at Dell that should have the authority to change the pricing so drastically, then shit like this wouldn't happen.

  • ttpalan on 14/11/2008 - 22:10

  • Augh on 14/11/2008 - 23:22

    I vote class action if Dell does not honour this.

    Companies get allot of advertising mileage out of these things and there should be laws to make sure they do not make 'mistakes' deliberately to get the advertising mileage.

    Some year ago United made a mistake on their new direct flights from Chicago to Delhi, they missed a Zero and tickets sold online for $150. United later said it was a mistake BUT they did honour the purchases. They also got terrific advertising with articles in major news papers and word of mouth. I bet the loss cost less than an advertising campaign giving similar coverage.

    if this happened in the US I am sure Dell would be required to honour the sales, it just seems like Australian consumer laws or lobby is not strong enough.

    Sure mistakes do happen but
    1. how do you avoid them being an excuse for advertising mileage.
    2. make the mistakes hurt so they don't happen again.

    CLASS ACTION!!!

    • tonyxu on 15/11/2008 - 03:03

      If you read contract law you will then understand Dell is making invitation to offer and you are the one who make an offer. Dell then does not take the offer. So there is no contract. which is actually ok….

      But then we can also argue by requesting us putting the CC info and deducted the amount, we can say there is an intention to take the offer and contract exists. Then they argue paying by CC is not actually paid yet, blah blah blah.

      For this senario, really the Dell's reputation works…If they care about their reputation (if there is still any), they should honour it.

  • Rainbow Trout on 14/11/2008 - 23:51

    I wonder if the Dell PR machine has been kicked into overdrive for this weekend..

    Ohhh Marty, Marty, Marty… Its even too wet and rainy over Bondi to get out for a swim this weekend too!
    Its interesting to see you at Dell now, I didn't know you were there! Last time I saw you was at the Gay Games '02. You were down in Sydney with Dave and Glenn. You'd just started working with Radianz back then. (Ha, you were pretty happy to be out of Equant though I remember :)

    I take it your move down to Sydney went ok? Did you end up getting Spectrum Comms to sponsor your visa for the move over?

    It'd be good to catch up again - You should still have my contact details. Drop me a line, we can grab brunch on the beach.

  • unitedbythemoment on 14/11/2008 - 23:51

    do you reacon ACA (A current affair) or TT (today tonight) would be intrested if Dell doesn't honour their deal??

    • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2008 - 08:08

      TT/ACA almost cream themselves when a dodgy contractor rips some pensioner off 18 cents, they'd probably keel over when they heard about a) A major brand most of the population knows of doing bad and b) doing it twice in one week.

  • cacbm on 14/11/2008 - 23:56

    My thoughts on this Dell situation. I think it's a genuine mistake (again). I know it's a second one in a few days and they made another a few months back, but I still think it's a mistake. I think the fact that they offered 10% for the other mistake was a genuine goodwill gesture. Having said all that I ordered one this time though bank transfer. :)

    On the moral side of things, it's questionable whether taking advantage of one's mistake is acceptable or not. And what if today it wasn't Dell, but some fair dinkum Aussie home business (let's call him Kev) that made a booboo? Is it more wrong to take advantage of Kev's mistake compared to taking advantage of Dell's? The fact that it's Dell's second mistake in a few days also doesn't help.

    I'm not a choirboy myself and I think I won't take advantage of Kev's mistake and will take advantage of Dell's only because they are a huge international business. Maybe I'll give them a free pass the first time they made a mistake but I think the second time while still a genuine mistake, it's fair that they suffer some consequences. I don't think there is a "right" or "wrong" answer and buying this computer knowing that it's a mistake doesn't make you a bad person.

    On the legality side of things, I think if you paid though bank transfer you have good grounds for them to sell a computer to you, even though they may try calling you and say it's a genuine mistake, which they are perfectly entitled to do. If you pay by a credit card, it's highly unlikely that you'll get your computer. The reason being that Dell will cancel the charge they put on your credit card after they found out and you wouldn't actually "lost" anything.

    There's no such thing as compensation for time and effort wasted. It's also highly unlikely (and won't be worth it) that other avenues will be successful, for example, Trade Practices Act, etc. There is no prospect of a class action.

  • Augh on 15/11/2008 - 00:59

    OK, taking the non aggressive approach,
    it would actually be in Dells interest to honour the deal.

    How many PCs do you think sold in that short time.
    say 300,
    what would be actual loss to Dell.
    again I estimate $300/pc.
    so that a loss of about $90K

    Now think of the amount of positive press and coverage they would get for it.
    How much would that amount of advertising cost.
    how many new people are going to be hitting the Dell website after that.
    Would it be worth 90K,
    I sure would think so.

    This way everyone wins.

      +1, i couldn't help thinking this is intentional and a Dell advertising on the cheep.

  • Crownie on 15/11/2008 - 01:17

    What Dell are going to do is offer everyone the $799 system.

    Your Credit Card or Bank Account will be debited the extra ammount. Consider this a "deposit". If you ordered 4 then you will only be getting 1 system and a EFT refund from Dell within 4-6 weeks.

    • randoom on 15/11/2008 - 08:46

      You never give them your bank details, so they can't possibly debit your account.

      As for credit card, you've only authorised them to take our say $238.64, like in my case, and unless they have your permission, you can't be charged more.

      Exactly the same circumstances as before with the other Dell system. They'll probably try and upsell it to us, but if you stand fast against what lies they tell you, then you can try and fight it.

    • cheesok on 15/11/2008 - 14:18

      it is unfair for you to give a negative 1… If the checkout shows $400, they can't charge $799 to your card… they'll be in trouble if they do that…

      • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2008 - 14:40

        If you've been following this drama since Monday you'll realise a negative is perfectly appropriate. You all have zero chance of getting your computers. That didn't stop me from placing an order though. Twice. (Mon/Fri).

    • walugi on 15/11/2008 - 16:41

      Are you seriously that dumb? How can Dell just charge what they want and then send you a more expensive system? Wow. Are you old enough to drink beer?

      Also a negative is for the guy submitting the deal, not for if you think the deal will work or not.

      Haven't seen anyone receive a call about these yet…

      • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2008 - 16:51

        WTF in no way is a negative vote in any way directed to the submitter of the deal. You vote positive if you think the deal is in fact a legit deal, and neg if you think this is not legit or their are some major issues related to the deal that people should be aware of.

        • ESEMCE on 17/11/2008 - 15:06

          But it is directed at the submitter of the deal..
          This site works by rewarding people (monetarily or by goods) for finding and sharing deals..
          Only if a submitted deal:
          1) can be had cheaper and is therefore not a deal at all
          2) is Spam
          should it receive a negative vote.. otherwise the person/people submitting the deal/s will not be rewarded and therefore wont submit future deals.

  • ash on 15/11/2008 - 02:59

    I ordered the system and paid by CC.
    Is it too late to make an internet transfer?

    I mean, if they won't charge customers by CC, what's stopping us from paying by internet bank transfer?

    I am assuming Dell supplies their BSB and Account numbers to the people who selected the internet transfer payment method, and use the internet reference number (which comes with the order acknowledgment email) as a transfer message. You can then ring up Dell to tell them u have paid by bank transfer and ask them to change the payment method. OR you can wait, If dell charges you on the CC also, ring up and tell them you have paid by bank deposit already.

    can someone confirm the internet payment process and supply the necessary details?

    cheers

  • jimjabbo on 15/11/2008 - 06:19

    I paid with VISA debit card…but we will see what we will see..I have my testicles crossed over this one :)

  • JPOWER on 15/11/2008 - 10:13

    I ordered two by internet transfer. Do you think it will work? And fuck DELL if it doesnt.

  • adam on 15/11/2008 - 11:05

    I ended up ordering 4 on 3 different orders all paid for by CC. I'm expecting that I'll end up with none, but we'll see.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 15/11/2008 - 12:12

    the vostro 220s is now listed as $649 but i think the specs are lower

    • randoom on 15/11/2008 - 13:23

      It's a dual core Celeron processor instead of the Pentium (less RAM too etc).

  • heathwithnoteeth on 15/11/2008 - 12:20

    if anyone ends up getting one. i will buy any for $100 on top of what u payed (if you got it for around $300 - $400) cheers

    • alo1234 on 15/11/2008 - 14:22

      and then you sell it at $300 on top of what you bought from us? cheers

      • heathwithnoteeth on 16/11/2008 - 23:04

        dont be so quick to judge. i dont onsell bargains. Just offering to purchase one. I have been living with a dell dimension 8200 for about 6 years now. i am just looking to upgrade.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 15/11/2008 - 12:32

    by the way. i cant seem to get any further with the checkout buying any dell systems at the moment…

  • kctt on 15/11/2008 - 16:24

    That's good.

    Dell, bring down your order system if you don't know how to configure / can't guarantee it works properly.

    I don't think there is any mistake here.
    There are different configurable options for a computer, adding stuff more money, removing stuff less money.
    Do you cancel order when people adding upgrade?

    It's not like posting an item with one price fixed configuration, e.g an ebay item or any other online shopping site (even though you still don't see a price error is likely to happen with other sellers/vendors)

    I ordered one in the previous deal ($399 something) and already received phone call informing technical error (probably from an India Call Centre).

    I don't think there's a big chance Dell would honour a cheaper pc like this.
    Dell should be promoted to MX ACA TDTN …

  • neosin on 15/11/2008 - 18:51

    so what's going on? are u guys getting it or not?

    someone call dell and speak to a manager?

  • nkbswe5 on 15/11/2008 - 21:52

    I'm presuming they aren't calling on the weekends, i'm expecting a call on Monday about this

  • [Deactivated] on 15/11/2008 - 22:01

    I'm expecting 4 calls…… 3 from this cock-up and one from the last

  • randoom on 16/11/2008 - 00:09

    Who's gonna get onto our friends at ACA / Today Tonight? I'm tempted, but wonder if Dell's more likely to close up tighter and require more prying open if we do. Could go the other way though..they don't want bad publicity (lol).

    • maf101 on 16/11/2008 - 01:43

      Has anyone contacted them yet?

      I have some screen caps. They might be useful showing what happened.

      • POWERevolution on 16/11/2008 - 01:55

        It's weekend so will wait until Monday.
        Good…Dell can't escape this time! They have the whole weekend to think of the new excuse :)

        • randoom on 16/11/2008 - 11:33

          I'm looking forward to it. It's a legitimate price on the computer system alone (minus accessories) and I simply don't want to obtain the extra bits.

          • walugi on 16/11/2008 - 14:21

            @randoom: I wonder how they're treating people who got that system but also bought those overpriced accessories.
